Charm Of Your Favourite Cup

Tea and coffee really does taste better when you drink it from a favourite cup or mug, research has found

Dr Tom Stafford, psychologist from Sheffield University, says a person's brain is trained to believe the daily ritual of making coffee or tea should be done in a certain way.

He said: "Drinking tea and coffee is very ritualistic and people become very addictive to the way they want their brew made. Caffeine is very much a drug of reward and like any addict, people develop passions on how the drug is delivered. It might be irrational or arbitrary but it's absolutely true. Your daily brew tastes better from your favourite mug.”
